ENVIRONMENT
FIRST is the credo of this run.
Any runner caught messing with the local
ecology will be pulled. If you
throw any trash, including drink cups,
on the ground, you will be DQ’d.
Never litter ANYWHERE. Bury human
waste at least 6” deep, 200’ from
water sources and 50’ from
any trail.
Use common sense and courtesy with
respect to the land, water, and
all others out there enjoying the
mountains,
including race volunteers. Just
because you’re
running does not mean you have the right of way or the right to be impolite.
We know you’re tired; try not to be cranky about it. The old Ultra “no
whining” rule is in effect at this event.
---------------------------------------------------------
AID will
be available at 6 locations. We will try to set out many
kinds of foods for your dining pleasure.
Aid Stations #2 - #5 are fully stocked with sandwiches,
and the usual array of cookies, chips, bannanas, etc.
Aid Stations #1 and #6 are not as fully equiped as
few runners eat at mile 8, and few can eat at mile
47. Note:
there are 2 nine-mile stretches between aid up there
on the Divide. Carry a lot and be ready for anything.
---------------------------------------------------------
CUT-OFFS will be in effect at aid #2, Williams Creek
(10 am), aid #3, Carson (12:45 pm), and at aid #5,
Slumgullion Pass (6pm). There is a 16-hour cut-off
at the finish
line (9 pm). You must be out of the aid station at
the published cut off time, to the second according
to the
race clock. Please note these cutoffs before you send
us your entry, as they will be strictly enforced for
your safety! No refunds are available to those who
miss cutoff times!!
---------------------------------------------------------
DROP BAGS will be ferried to the following aid stations:
#2 (15.7), #3 (22), #6 (40). Please do send extra gear.
---------------------------------------------------------
STAY ON TRAIL Any trail deviation forces us to DQ you; however, on
the Divide section
(mile 23 - 36), you may
parallel the trail (i.e., get down!) if the weather causes
you exceptional fear. Keep an eye on those clouds! Finishing
this race in a particular time is definitely not worth
your life. Also, the last mile of the race, in town (mile
49), is “open” back to the finish at the
park.
---------------------------------------------------------
CHECK IN AND OUT of each aid station. Let someone know
if you drop. There are real safety concerns here.
---------------------------------------------------------
CREWS may go
to the following two locations only: Williams Creek
(15.7)
and Slumgullion
Pass (40). Please park well
off the roads and observe all directives given by local
law enforcement. Be forewarned that they pick up speeders
like there’s no tomorrow. Aid may be given a runner
only within 100 yds of an aid station. Also, please leave
your dog(s) in your car at the aid stations. Please don't
make us ask you to do this, as our volunteers are busy
helping runners.
---------------------------------------------------------
PACERS are allowed from mile 40 (aid #6)
